The C_N stretching frequency of eight inorganic cyanides is given. The position of the CN frequency in organic and inorganic molecules and ions is discussed in terms of resonance with structures containing C=N groups. In organic nitriles, the contribution of these structures is discussed in terms of the inductive and/or the rnesomeric effects. In simple inorganic cyanides of metals in the same subgroup of the Periodic Table, this contribution is linearly related to the electronegativity of the central atom. In complex cyanides, on the other hand, the contribution depends on other factors such as the co-ordination and oxidation numbers of the central atom and its tendency to be positive, negative or neutral.
